This is my second sit-down interview with Trevor Horn and youâll hear why itâs nothing like the first time. The previous one (episode 43) made an impression with Wikipediaâs editors, who included Trevorâs âI believe in Judaism, more than I believe in anything elseâ as a reference. On leaving last time, Trevor told me at the door, "no one ever asked me about that before". In this in-depth conversation about his life and career, Trevor talks about growing up as a post-war baby boomer in Hetton-le-Hole and how the family left the Durham village to secure their future in the more prosperous midlands (as my own family had done a generation before). We discuss Paul McCartneyâs constant reinvention as the key to longevity and his own determination to keep working. Then thereâs Rod and the magnificent orchestral album, his most recent production. Trevor also pays a touching tribute to his late wife, Jill Sinclair, âthe first person who told me I was good. Thereâs also a couple of Jewish jokes she used to tell him too. And we expand on his religious beliefs, how Shabbat is a âgreat ideaâ and reading the Torah illuminating. Trevorâs been touring the US as Sealâs musical director with support band, The Buggles, reuniting with his old friend, Geoff Downes. It was their number one hit, âVideo Killed The Radio Starâ which propelled him to fame before he became a producer on Jillâs recommendation. Thereâs a stem-by-stem analysis of the brilliant âwhiz bangâ noises of Owner of a Lonely Heart, The Art of Noise, ABCâs band manifesto, the Belfast Child of The Simple Minds and why Two Tribes by Frankie Goes to Hollywood sounds like the Hatikvah, Israelâs national anthem! I had another hour of questions for Trevor, but I hope this gives you a snapshot of what a talented and modest man he is, and why Iâve been a fan since my teenage years. Dear Listener, this is Trevor Horn II. Jonny Gouldâs Jewish State is brought to you with Dangoor Education.
